What name would you choose to rename yourself?

[MistleTOEboughski]

If name changing were as easy in real life as on MN? I can't decide myself but my dd chose Avery. What would you choose and why?

I’d choose something like Harriet, Arrietty, or Alex.
But then I’d also like a name that’s not commented on! Anything common or dull!

People always comment on my name. I hated it when I was growing up - I have social anxiety and used to get so embarrassed. I always feel dread when I have to tell people my name even now.

Grace became a very popular top ten name but it wasn’t when I was growing up, I never met another child called Grace. The main comments I got were people singing Amazing Grace or comments about being Graceful. Unfortunately I am anything but Graceful, in fact I’m dyspraxic so if I do something clumsy or fall people are like Hahaha that wasn’t Graceful.

I am a Lucy. Loving the love! I do love my name.

Clementine.

Anything but Jenny.

Can't say because it's a name I would call a daughter 😉

Something cool though.

I quite like my name (it’s been mentioned on here) but if I could choose anything it would be another vote for Cleo, or Honor or Juliet.

I like my name, even though 90% of people in the last two countries I've lived in mispronounce it. Or have no idea how to spell it.

I have a sister who was going to be called Miriam until a family friend picked it first. I've always felt we should've had a Miriam in the family and I think the name would suit me (funnily enough, it would definitely not suit my sister), so I'd go with that. I also don't think anyone would have any trouble pronouncing it

Kate or Olivia or Elle

I like my name. It's my middle name and I've always gone by it. It's unusual these days.

I'm very amused that a pp has mentioned my first name, which I absolutely detest, as the name she'd change to!

Alizee, Capucine or maybe Solange... Or maybe Nico?

I like my name, it's rare amongst my age group, but popular now
If I were to change it, I'd be called Athena.

I love - Kate ,Jennifer/Jenny, Sophie,Helen,

I dislike my name but it's nice to see it's popular here

Anastasia

I like my dh so I wouldn't change it. Dh hates his name, its quite old fashioned. Mil has said several times she done well choosing his name, he hasn't told her he hates it

^ Obviously I like my dh most of the time I was supposed to put I like my name 😂

I'm Elizabeth and I don't dislike it, but I always fancied something unusual and slightly more exotic like Anya or Petra.

I had a very boring surname (like Jones) as well. I wanted to be Anya Petulengro or something like that.

Another Katie here.
I've never liked my full name or it's abbreviation. So much so that DH hardly ever calls me by my actual name! 😂

Nora

Princess Consuala Banana-Hammock

Stephanie

Laura, to me it’s a friendly name!

I have a fairly common botanical name which I don't particularly like or dislike in fact I hadn't really ever though about how I felt about it before reading this thread! But if I had to pick a name right now to change it to I think I'd go for Beatrix as I've always thought that was quite a cool name :)

Doormat. Would be more grab suitable
